YUCK!

I found this in Luke's backpack today.  It is unidentifiable.  It produced one of the worst smells I have smelled in quite some time.  His backpack was starting to smell for a few days, I finally had time to go through it and found the culprit.  We will never know exactly what this was.  I'm just glad it is now gone and perplexed at how he didn't smell this himself.  

Christmas in October

Paige has already started her Christmas list.  She wrote a letter, probably a first of many, to Santa  this week. 

Movie Night

Luke set up movie night for the family complete with post its for seating assignments. He is too cute.

Apple Picking

Luke was invited to go apple picking with a friend, so Paige, Ali and I took a girls trip.  Those two are a couple of crazies!

First Day of School -

Paige was excited to be on the bus with Luke again this year as she moved up from Placentino (K-2) to Miller (3-5). 

Holding hands on the first day before the bus, too cute :)

 Ali got in there too -

 School bus gang -

Back to school nights were within a week of the start of classes.  We did get to see the kids first works of art:

Ali went back to school a couple weeks after the big kids.  She was SO ready and very excited.  She goes Monday, Wednesday and Friday this year.  Her transition was seamless.  She loves school!
